Back on the Bike

Well, the last of blog posts the last week means that there has been a lack of training for the race.  Leave it to me to come up with a variety of excuses why I couldn't work out ... many of them due to an overly busy social life (I know, tough, right?!).  Although I do swear that I got in 3 sessions with my trainer last week.  Anyways, I realized today that not only did I need to get back into training because well, I had to, but also because I needed a good burst of energy.  I've in a weird funk of a mood the last few days and I know how great working out makes me feel.  There's nothing like a good, hard workout to get your blood moving and get a little burst of confidence.  Of course I happened to pick today's bike workout to get back into things - one legged drills.  10 minute warm up followed by 40 minutes of alternating 1-leg spin sessions.  I forgot how challenging it was to work one leg for that long ... as well as the fact that my left leg is significantly stronger.  I do have to admit that I feel pretty great after the workout.  Definitely glad to get back in the swing of things again!
